Some of that is my cash. I bought into ryzen recently, breaking from a decade of intel on all my home machines. The chip is working. It is very fast. Maybe I'd get a few more fps from intel, but not at the same price.

I've been AMD only since 2004. Feels good.

Do you run Linux with your AMD cards or just Windows? Wondering what the Linux experience is like these days with all the Linux driver improvements AMD has made.

I recently bought an HP laptop which has a AMD A10-8700P APU and was very surprised to find out that basic display functionality is very glitchy under Linux (backlight would flicker, or in some cases it wouldn't work at all). I tried with Debian unstable first, then with Ubuntu (17.04 and now 17.10) and none of the vanilla kernels in these distros worked for me (with the amdgpu driver, ), so I'm now running 4.9.51+ from https://github.com/M-Bab/linux-kernel-amdgpu-binaries (the most recent versions crash when I use HDMI output).

What OS are you running on it, and how has your stability been?

Ubuntu 17.10. Also running a Nvidia 1080 Ti. Everything is liquid cooled. Works like a charm

(Not OP.) FreeBSD has been rock solid on 1950x for me. I've attempted to reproduce the "kill ryzen" reliability problem reported on some of the desktop CPUs and been unable to.
